Frenchy - September 12th, 2002 at 01:16 AM

this may be a daft one, but i have bought a new window scraper/trim and the dam thing dont seem to fit gurrrrr, the trim clips are to big i have only one of the oringinal clips, as the rest had rusted away hence the new trim.

I replaced one of the new one with these, and it fitted stright in the others are just 2 big any1 else had this problem is it just me being a tit???

Use apply a small amout of grease to the hole in the door that the clip fits into.

also you may have to squeeze the clip with a pair of long nose pliers or long tweezers from the inside of the door to get the clip started.

yeah the West Coast Metric ones i got didn't quite fit into the hole, so i had to use pliers, the metal they used for those clip bits broke very easily...
